TARANTELLA One, Two, Three, Let's Go! "You lell 'em GAZETTE, you've been looked into." We do not wish to encourage slang but the above hits the nail on the head better than anything we can think of. . ,. . 15,000 people read The Gazette every day and what does it tell them? Does it tell them what you have to sell? If it does not you are missing a good chance to get your name and business before the majority of the people of Gastonia and Gaston county. The war is long since over and almost for gotten, the days of high prices have passed into history and the profiteer is becoming an unknown species. Now let us comply with the business demands of 1921 which are hard work, small profits and advertising. And the greatest of these is advertising. These three join hands in bridging the rag ing river of failure and help you by the dan gers on the road to success. During the last few years when everyone was "flush" one did not need to advertise, though nearly everyone did. The trade came anyway. But now, when everyone looks sev eral times and spends once you must go af ter business with businesslike advertising. THE GAZETTE as an advertising medi um has long been looked upon as the best in this section. Not only do we carry local ads but foreign advertisers as well have found it to their advantage to advertise with us. Don't slouch behind in business this year but push to the front with advertising. Set aside a good amount to be used in advertis ing your business and let The Gazette tell 'em for you. Our rates are as follows: (Ten per cent additional for preferred space) 100 inches 40c 1 00 to 260 inches : 35c 260 to 500 inches . . ., 30c 500 inches up . . . . ...,25c These amounts of space are to be used within 12 months. 1 Gazette Publishing Co.
